Sometimes the most expensive part of getting a press is shipping it.
Where are you located?

When purchasing anything from EBay, make sure that you are dealing with a reputable store, not an individual seller. If you do a search on the forum, you will hear other people talk about eBay presses. Some good, some bad. Make sure you are getting a familiar brand name.
You might also want to search the forums for Sunie presses. I think I've seen one of the moderators post that "Sunie poll" will give you the best search results. They are a quality, low cost press in the US.

For California buyers of inexpensive (not cheap) press try www.sunie.com They are located in Carson City NV. I drove there and picked up mine. I think the cost is $399 now If you are not too far away, make a vacation of it...pick up the press and then drop a few $$ in the casinos..catch a show and enjoy! BTW...check out the remarks on the Sunie 15x15 press by doing a search on the forum..
